An Alabama high school teacher was placed on administrative leave with pay Monday (Jan. 22) for using a racial slur while describing Tupac Shakur’s music.

According to AL, the students in Tracie Butcher’s food and nutrition class at Hoover High School were playing the iconic rapper’s emotional song, “Dear Mama.” Multiple students reported that Butcher, who is white, asked the classroom to “turn the ni**er tunes off.” Posted By Ghost
